PAPER-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 297,618, dated April29, 1884.

Application filed December 26, 1883. -(l\*o model.)

I To aZZ whom it may concern:

' to be described in the following specification and represented in theaccompanying drawings, of which Figure 1 is a perspective view, Fig. 2 atransverse section, and Fig. 3 a longitudinal section, of a paper-holdercontaining my invention, the nature of which is defined in the 1 claimshereinafter presented.

The holder is to support a roll of paper and to enable portions thereofto be separated from the remainder in manner and by means as describedand as occasion may require.

The holder is represented as adapted to such a roll, which in thedrawings is shown at A as wound upon a tube or cylinder, a, of wood,

into the ends of which the journals b b of the legs 0 c of the bail Bare inserted. This bail, formed of wire, bent as shown, has pivoted toit, at its middle, a screw, 0, or some other proper device for fasteningit to a wall.

A combined knife, "e, 'and brake f, formed of sheet metal, bent asrepresented, is shown' at D as securedto the bail by arms at d, ex:tending from them and pivoted to it, so as to enable the brake to restagainst the periphery of the roll of paper. The brake makes an angle ofabout ninety degrees with the'knife,

whose cu'tting-edgeis its outer edge, the blade of the knife being bypreference bent upward, as shown, just in rear of the said cuttingedge.vThisbrake with the arms may be in one piece of wire, or it may be theback of the knife; but it is preferable to have it formed papersufficiently from the guide, the paper is to be borne down upon thecutting-edge of the knife so as to depress the knife and crowd the brakeagainst the roll, whereby the said roll will be stopped from revolvingwhile the paper may be severed or cut by the knife; The part of thepaper that may lap on the knife will remain intact, ready for beingseized, for the purpose of drawing forward over the knife more of thepaper of the roll, such roll, while paper is being so drawn from it,turning freely on the journals of the bail.

I do not claim a paper-holder constructed and to operate as representedin the United States Patent No. 193,175, my paper-holder having 1 one ormore appliances not incident thereto. Nor do I claim paper-holders madeas rep-' resented in the United States Patents Nos. 248,323 and 285,398,for in neither of such patents is a brake shown as fixed to the knife orcutter, and by it caused to bear against the roll of paper while apartof such roll is being severed from the rest by the knife. I claim7 1. The knife connected to the bail and provided with a brake to extendfrom it, the said knife, against the roll of paper, and to be borneagainstit by the draft of the strip of paper on the knife while thelatter may be in the act of separating the paper, all beingsubstantially as set forth. j

2. The bail provided with the guide and knife, arranged as set forth,and with abrake to extend from the knife against the roll of paper, allbeing substantially and to operate as represented.

3. The combination of the bail provided ALBERT CANDY MOORE.
